Show 0 when no data in clustered column chart

I have a clustered column chart with one filed on the X-axis and two measures. Example below:

If there's value either for Sales or Target, but not for both measures I would like to show 0 instead of nothing (e.g. 0 for Banana target and 0 for Plum Sales).

What I've tried so far:

1) Sales Target = SUM ( 'Table'[Target] ) + 0
2) Sales Target = COALESCE ( SUM ( 'Table'[Target] ), 0 )
But then I achieve this:

I do not want to show values on the X-axis where both measures have no data (e.g. Orange, Pineapple).

Unfortunately "Show blank as" 0 under Data labels Value setting also does not work

Any insights would be appreciated

Try this, 

 

add a measure

Is Zero Check = IF( [Sales Target] = 0 && [Total Sales] = 0, 1, BLANK())

 

Expand or view filters pane

Drag this measure and set the filter as "Is Zero Check" is blank.

You get the ouput as below:

Hope it helps!

Thank you! It works, but it seems 0 has to be added to the Sales and Target measures. They are also used on other pages and visuals. As measure cannot be added as a report or even page level filter I would have to use it on all the visuals. Are there any better solutions just for the chart?
